The idea that a war with Iran is “inevitable” is mostly narrative — not confirmed reality.
Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s global tariffs was framed as a political setback. Markets briefly reacted, but structurally little changed since alternative tariff tools still exist and legal battles take years. The bigger angle people are pushing is political pressure: Court pushback = perceived weakness Elections approaching Incentive to chase quick “wins” to regain momentum That’s why Iran is being mentioned again in geopolitical chatter. But here’s the key: Political pressure ≠ automatic war. Military conflict is costly, globally destabilizing, and heavily constrained by international, economic, and defense considerations. Escalation risk may rise during politically tense periods, but “inevitable” is a strong word. For markets: Geopolitical headlines = volatility spikes Oil, gold, and crypto react fast Weekend headlines can amplify moves (especially in 24/7 markets like crypto) Bottom line: Expect volatility, not certainty. Position for risk — don’t trade based on fear narratives.
